AGENDA
REPORT
December 20, 2022
DISCUSSION:
On September 21, 2021, City Council approved the sole-source contract with Stryker Medical, for a total amount not to exceed $46,267.20, for a term of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. After the approval, Stryker Medical provided amended language to the standard contract language and insurance provisions. The City Attorney’s Office reviewed and negotiated further modifications to the contract language, and Risk Management approved the proposed changes to the insurance requirements.
The Fire Department has eight (8) LUCAS chest compression devices and twelve (12) Life Pak 1000 AED defibrillators used to provide emergency medical care to patients experiencing cardiac arrest.
The devices are manufactured by Stryker Medical. City staff is requesting approval of a sole-source contract with Stryker medical to perform its ProCare service on all of the aforementioned devices. The ProCare service includes:
Software updates
Integrity inspection
Testing sensors and recalibration
Lubricating and adjusting parts
Functional tests and computer-aided diagnostics
Repairs per the parties’ agreement
Having the manufacturer annually service the equipment is critical to ensuring that the equipment is in good working order so that the Fire Department can provide necessary care to the citizens of Richmond.
For these reasons, City staff requests that City Council approve the revised sole-source contract with Stryker in an amount not to exceed $46,267.20, for a term of December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2025.
